I'm not a bling person but I like it. Yep, in this case go with the bling.

If you have room for it, and the hook ups, I say go for it.

I have a Kenmore Elite HE front loading washer. I can do horse clothing in it and it's been a good washing machine. It's a few years old but still going strong. Between the three dogs getting their muddy feet wiped in winter and me having horses and goats at home, the washer gets plenty of use.

A truly miserable week. So sorry about Merlin, and glad you are okay from the wreck. (((Baroque)))

OMG he's adorable!

I have twice had success raising littermates from puppyhood. They were, as paws pointed out, trained separately and we never had an issue with the dogs looking to the other dogs and not the human. In both cases, the dogs were social, well behaved, and well adjusted. It sounds as if you plan to spend...

Yep! Any idea why she was being auctioned? She is just something!

What a cutie and yeah, love the uncropped ears. I thought of "Nyla" for a name. I also like "Nova". She looks like such a wonderful soul. Congratulations!

What people say it's for: stabilizing the bit What it's actually for: crank the mouth shut That's insulting for those of us who actually use equipment correctly. I start my horses in a drop so that they don't start crossing the jaw as AmityBee said. It stabilized the bit. I also start my horses in ...

Holy cow! Lovely, lovely girl!

I am so glad I'm on the far side of 60 and you are on the other coast. That baby is special!

Code3

This is concerning. As a police officer, this is my advice: I would keep a log of when the person calls (date, time), what line it comes in on if you have more than one line, exactly what is said, and any caller ID. Can you set up to record the calls? That would be helpful. With a police report, the...

What an interesting situation all around. I'm glad the JC is being good about it.

Code3

Huge improvement. Such a lovely girl. I am so glad to hear things are going so well for you, and for her.

Oh my, that is a gorgeous colt!

Can you elaborate on flunking the DNA test with the Jockey Club? Is she not 100% TB?

Mark DePaolo, many years ago, was in Oregon and I've used him as a vet. I think very highly of him and am glad to see this video going around.

For one horse I got jewelry from Tail Spin Bracelets. For another horse, I ordered from Whiskey River Designs. I was very happy with the quality of each. Whiskey River Designs offers a wider variety of products.

Minz, Two things in your reply I absolutely agree with. Every person has their personal level of commitment to saving an animal, both financial and emotional. I might internally disagree with a choice but would never criticize it as I am not walking in their shoes. As I said above, there are things...

I'm no help. I feed grass hay, pasture, and vit/min designed for this area (selenium deficient) in a cup of soaked alfalfa pellets (twice daily). My WB also gets Renew Gold seasonally as needed for weight. They also get spirulina and either flax or chia.

Code3

I think you'll like the Renew Gold. My WB gets it. My chubby Arab does not.

Code3

Ooh boy, good thing he's fighting for himself because his realtors are not fighting for him. Agree with the advice you've been given.

Code3

I've been with the same woman for years, through several of her moves. She is wonderful and with my short, curly hair I need someone who can cut curls and not fight them because they fight back. She charges $25 (she works in a town with a population of 8,000) and I tip her $5. I go every four weeks ...

In the past, the one year and three year vaccines were the same, just the protocol had changed. FWIW, studies have shown that rabies vaccines last much longer than three years. Have you considered a titer? I am lucky to live where the vet can write a letter showing your dog has been been titered and...

Just another voice. The crimes he committed are bad enough but the fact that he is not taking responsibility only adds to it. You are 100% right. Whenever in doubt, come here. We'll support you!

I use "Flea Go" on the carpets twice yearly when there is no sign of fleas. I wash their bedding weekly. If the dogs needs something topical (it's been three years since they have) I use lavender. I have a lab who reacts horribly to any chemical so this route works for us.

I used to lease a ten stall barn with covered arena and pasture that was next to a music studio. The owners had two grown children. The girl had loved horses, hence the barn and arena. The boy was into music, hence the studio.

Code3

Add me to the list!

Agree. bascar, think of the pleasure it gives you helping others and give us THAT gift, of being able to help you!

Agree, great story.

I technically own a horse that has been out on a free lease for 17 years. I don't even check up on her any more because I know she's well cared for and has had a great life. She's 26 years old now. My situation is very different from yours, but with your trainer involved I'd probably be okay with it...

Code3

Congratulations!!

Code3

I understand your angst. I hope the new barn is everything it sounds to be, and the new trainer is a good fit for you. I think you'll know when you are there, especially if you get that feeling of "I wish I were here".

Code3

Holy crap, that is terrible! I can't imagine. So yes, what can we do? Can we do a gofundme or a paypal account? Something, anything.

Code3

Jingling!

A lot of good horses are going to slaughter. And horses that no longer have a home for whatever reasons, or are older.

Oh my, what a cutie!

Jingling for a clean PPE!

Check out Ringel knives. He has lovely knives in any size you want and the handles are lovely. I sharpen my knives a lot and these take and keep a good edge. http://www.ringelcustomknives.com

My partner is currently having the same symptoms - lightheadedness, shortness of breath, vertigo, headaches. She was diagnosed with carotid artery plaque and is seeing the vascular surgeon on Monday. FWIW her doctor referred her for an MRI of her brain and an ultrasound of her carotid arteries.

You are not alone. I re-read it yearly and also have a degree in English Lit.

Wonderful stories, Chisamba. Thank you for sharing.

Uh oh. I was going to say "ice cream". In my defense, my horses live with me so I see them every day and would take for granted I'm be seeing them upon my "release".

Way to go, Shirrine!!!
